Missing Love

Drunken Mistake

-Gracie's POV-
Holding back tears wasn't an option anymore. My closest friend and the person I loved locked lips. If I hadn't walked in now and had later, they probably would have gone further than just a kiss. "Wow Ryan... I can't believe that I believed you when you said you loved me. I actually believed that you cared about me when I was crying in that pool of blood! Looks like I was wrong about you. I've heard plenty about you before we were together; I heard about you being a playboy and I just ignored the hints that I received!" I swallowed a lump in my throat as more tears came down but slowly, my glance moved to Starr. "Starr I thought we were friends! You haven't had more than two drinks lightweight or not! I'll never forget this and I won't forgive it either." More tears came out but I pushed a stampede of them to the side, "I hope you two are VERY  happy together." Before I could count to three, I slammed the door and found myself in the hall between the kitchen and the main bathroom. I slumped down against the wall and let that stampede of tears come out but I managed to make my way to the bar...

-Caleb's POV-
Though I was a bit late, I arrived to the party at last. Just as I did arrive, I got a text from Ryan:
"Help me. I messed up, really bad. I need to talk to you in person because it's not safe to do this over texting. Meet me by the pool in the back yard! Starr will be with me too."
Before I had a chance to head to the back door, I received another text but it was from Anonymous:
"Soon you will know the truth,
I hope you take it well.
Will you ever forgive?
Tell Gracie what you must?
You have to sort out your feelings.
Who do you really love?
I know you think you have Katrina but her heart may end up stole.
Am I confusing you?
And I probably am...
If you kiss I'll keep your life,
You can take it from Ryan.
Tell anyone about this text,
I can ruin you.
Will you ever find the truth?
Do you know it's beneath your fingers?
Whatever you do it can ruin you,
It has happened to me before.
Takes one to know one, my dearest,
To know the secrets between one.
Keep safe,
My dollie,
Games will await you always.
Going on a break from you.
On occasions you will miss me.
Sorry things had to be this way, threats can always haunt me.
- Anonymous"
This was by far the strangest text that I've gotten from Anonymous but something told me that this was serious. Anonymous was "Taking a break from me"? Now I don't know weather to be relieved or frightened! Whatever may or may not be going on, I had to go meet Ryan! I then heard a whisper in my ear, "Hey there, did you miss me?" I spun around to see Anna wearing a tight, mint green, dress! "But you... Where have you--" "Shhh! Just follow me. Brook, the host of the party, and I are pretty tight and I have my own quarters here. Follow me if you want my answers!"

-Starr's POV-
I made it out of there and saw Gracie staring at me. I looked at her nervously and I then walked over to the kitchen and I saw Gracie behind me. I knew she'd follow! I pulled out a knife. I slowly began to make slits across my wrists. Suddenly I heard Gracie running up to me and smacking the knife out of my hand. I slid down the cabinet and unto the floor. She stared at me with glassy eyes, "Why did you do it Starr? You're with Bryson." I nodded. "I-I told Ryan I loved him. I hadn't eaten in two weeks. I felt light headed. I thought it was Bryson. Gracie I am so sorry..." Gracie just stared at me and burst into tears. She hugged me tightly but I then suddenly looked at her "But Gracie— I don't deny I did kind of like it." Gracie just stared at me, "Well.. Who wouldn't?" She helped me up and suddenly we both got a text from Caleb. "Forest. Now. Bring one trustworthy friend." Gracie and I looked at each other. "I'll call Bryson. You call Ryan?" I asked meekly. She nodded uncertainly but we soon found ourselves walking out with the two boys!

(IN THE FOREST)
-Ryan's POV-
I saw Anna and Caleb there. I also saw Gracie, Bryson and Starr. Starr smiled at me, Gracie gave me a small smirk, Bryson just shot me a death glare. I knew it wouldn't all be fixed. Tears welled in my eyes as I looked at Caleb. He stared. "It's all down to this you guys. We are going to find out the story of WHY anonymous is doing this to us. And how we can stop it."

-Anna's POV-
I sighed. "I guess I should start off with why."

~FLASHBACK~
In third grade, Phoebe was the "IT" girl. She had everything and everyone wanted to be her. But then, Katrina came along and she stole Phoebe's thunder. Everyone gazed at Katrina. She was the new "IT" girl. And she stayed that way forever! College rolled around, and Phoebe's revenge was ready to be fulfilled. She knew Katrina would look for Caleb, so she paid the driver of the truck to hit Katrina. Afterwards, came the texting. A team was assembled. The "A" team. It consisted of the lower, middle, top, and BOSS A. It went somewhat like this:

Lower - Serena, Brook.
Middle- Anna, Ethan
Top- Tanner, Nick
And Main A I can't tell you yet."
Everyone groaned at that. I gave them an amused smile, and continued.
--FLASH BACK--
"We all sent messages, and we were all assigned a person.
Gracie - Nick
Bryson - Ethan
Starr - Tanner
Katrina & Caleb - Main A
Sky - Serena
Ryan - Brook
Tanner and I soon dropped out, so it put double workload on everyone. Everyone has some kind of motive. Serena was later killed, fortunately. I know just the way you can stop it too. Corner lower, middle and top A's in a location. Get them to top main A. That's where main A will tell you the story from HER perspective. Got it?"

-Starr's POV-
"Got it." Ryan said. God he was so manly and hot. I shook those thoughts from my blond head, then he looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. And Gracie gave us a small dorky grin. I hugged Gracie. But my thoughts returned to Ryan, "Hey Starr, I'll walk you home." Offered Ryan. Bryson gave him a death glare again. I smiled and nodded, "Okay." Gracie smiled too, "I'll give you guys time to talk about what happened."

-Ryan's POV-
I tossed my shaggy brown hair out of my eyes. I noticed Starr biting her lip. She shivered, so I put my arm around her. She looked at me with heartfelt eyes. I smiled at her. She shook her head, "You're dating Gracie." She said. "No I'm not, she broke up with me." I said flatly. "Well I'm dating Bryson, so please—" Ryan cut me off, "Starr—" I turned her towards me and looked at her piercing blue-green eyes. Her eyes searched through mine. "If you didn't love me the slightest bit, you wouldn't have kissed me. And liked it." Tears sprung in her eyes as she threw her arms around me and hugged me. I pulled her into a kiss. Suddenly Bryson appeared "God damn it Ryan! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!" Shouted Bryson. I yanked away from Starr and noticed he was holding a gun! Suddenly Gracie texted me:
"I know you love her. I'm letting you be with her. You know what they say, if you love someone you have to let them go; even if they end up flying to someone else."
I looked up and saw Bryson holding the gun up, with his hand on the trigger. Suddenly Starr spoke up to him, "Bryson. Put the fucking gun down, you son of a bitch." He immediately got pissed. Then he fired and I tried to dodge it. But I didn't feel anything. Then I opened my eyes and saw Starr on the ground, bleeding. Tears fell out of my eyes. "Starr, NO!" I screamed.
And then, Bryson fell to the ground in tears. I picked up the gun and did the only thing I could. I shot him to the ground.
